First, background is outlined with an example extensive admin in road transport, followed by case presenting booking. The study concludes that lack integration costly terms both resources, as well lost capacity on...

In this paper, we develop a revenue management model for airline alliances. In particular, our model allows the members of the alliance to decide how to share the revenues from itineraries spanning flight legs operated by multiple airlines and how to coordinate their capacity allocation decisions. We start with a deterministic linear programming approximation to the revenue management problem t...

Accounting for desire for variety within the consumer demand function, a two stage hybrid competitive-cooperative game analyzes di¤erentiated oligopolies under varying market structures from competition through pooling contracts up to anti-trust immune alliances. From a managerial perspective, pooling agreements not only bene…t …rms by better matching supply and demand but also rank highest in ...

We compare aviation markets under conditions of competition, codesharing contracts and anti-trust immune alliances, assuming that demand for flights depends on both fares and the level of frequency offered. Using a hybrid competitive/cooperative game theoretic framework, we show that the stronger the inter-airline agreement, the higher the producer surplus. On the other hand, consumer surplus a...

Plans for NextGen include the implementation of Net-Centric Operations (NCO) as the underlying mechanism to more effectively manage National Air Transportation System (NAS) resources. NCO mechanisms will provide the means for all agents operating in the NAS to self-synchronize in the presence of changing situations and probabilistic forecasts. Applications of NCO in other domains (e.g. military...

This study aims to reveal the critical success factors that provide global airline alliances by making a comparative analysis of performances for period before and during pandemic. To do this, performance data 35 airlines are members Star Alliance, SkyTeam, Oneworld were analyzed years between 2017 2020 using CRITIC-CoCoSo methods. The benefits 7 criteria including 3 financial 4 operational. re...

Purpose Multinational enterprises (MNEs) establish a wide range of alliances to access the critical resources that they may need at any one time. Although inter-organizational relationships (IORs) constitute channels through which social capital flows, MNEs should consider mechanisms or characteristics relations facilitate their actual mobilization. Design/methodology/approach A definition alli...

am grateful to many people and institutions that supported my project. First of all I want to thank my supervisor Prof. Dr. Alf Kimms for drawing my attention to the field of revenue management and giving me the chance to write this dissertation at his chair. I truly valued his support and the inspiring discussions during the entire process. I would also like to thank my second assessor Prof. D...
